Many learn one program and never migrate or experiment with others. <BR/><BR/>I am going to choose a few other genealogy software programs and begin discussing my experiences with those as well. The commentary will focus on smaller genealogy projects, using the software to organize, collect, etc. Our discussion will not focus on managing huge amounts of genealogical data. <BR/><BR/>Suggestions for programs to discuss or feature are welcomed and can be sent to me off the blog at mjnrootdig@gmail.com<BR/>Thanks!Michael John Neillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00116684507094892060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153667.post-82316154596649109572007-09-04T04:23:00.000-05:002007-09-04T04:23:00.000-05:00This is a perfect example of why FTM is, has been,...This is a perfect example of why FTM is, has been, and always will be the domain of genealogy beginners. It's not a bad thing to be a beginner, but it is a shame that so many of you bloggers and authors continue to serve up article after article on FTM at the expense of better genealogy programs. I'm sure a large percentage of us started out using FTM, but it continues to be woefully lacking in power, useful extensibility and flexibility. So, we (hopefully) move on to beefier programs such as Legacy, RootsMagic or TMG. How about some coverage of programs that don't treat you with kid gloves?Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02203120669718761396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24153667.post-39069297625291831432007-08-28T11:49:00.000-05:002007-08-28T11:49:00.000-05:00I wholeheartedly agree.
